"I Saw Him Pass His Sword Through the Mate's Body" is an illustration by Howard Pyle for the novel "Kidnapped," which was included in the 1895 edition of "The Novels and Tales of Robert Louis Stevenson." This artwork visually represents a pivotal moment from Stevenson's adventure novel, which was first published in 1886. The illustration captures the intensity and drama of the scene where a character is engaged in a violent confrontation, a common element in Stevenson's tale of adventure and survival.

Howard Pyle, an American illustrator and author, was renowned for his work in illustrating historical and adventure stories. His illustrations were known for their vividness and ability to convey the narrative's emotion and action. Pyle's contribution to the 1895 edition of Stevenson's works added a new dimension to the already popular stories, providing readers with a visual representation that complemented the author's rich and descriptive prose.

The scene depicted in Pyle's illustration is significant within the context of "Kidnapped," as it reflects the themes of loyalty, bravery, and the harsh realities of life in 18th-century Scotland, where the novel is set. The novel follows the journey of the young protagonist, David Balfour, who is betrayed by his uncle, survives a shipwreck, and becomes embroiled in the Jacobite uprisings.

As an illustration in "The Novels and Tales of Robert Louis Stevenson," Pyle's work not only enhances the reader's experience but also serves as an example of the collaboration between author and illustrator in the late 19th century, a period when such partnerships were instrumental in the success of literary publications. The 1895 edition, with Pyle's contributions, remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Stevenson's storytelling and the power of illustration to bring literary scenes to life.
